After cooking, that white fat turns yellow or orange. If your bacon has changed color and now looks kind of brown or gray, or there are any other discolored spots, it&rsquo;s pretty apparent it&rsquo;s no good.<\/li><li><strong>It smells off.<\/strong>&nbsp;Let me assume that you know how bacon smells and that its aroma is quite pleasant after cooking. If yours smells bitter or sour,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rancidification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">it&rsquo;s probably rancid<\/a>, and if it gives off any other foul smell, it&rsquo;s bad too.<\/li><li><strong>There&rsquo;s organic growth on the surface.<\/strong>&nbsp;Fat-based products aren&rsquo;t known for growing mold, but if your bacon strips haven&rsquo;t been properly sealed and got contaminated, all bets are off. Look for anything unfamiliar, like off-color dots, fuzz, and the like.<\/li><li><strong>It&rsquo;s slimy.<\/strong>&nbsp;Uncooked bacon is fresh and moist, while cooked is crispy. But if yours is seeping or becomes slimy, it&rsquo;s done for. The same is true for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canitgobad.net\/can-deli-meat-go-bad\/\">slimy deli meat<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Those are the most common spoilage signs for bacon.
